Housing Needs Survey for Banana Shire Residents

Banana Shire Housing Needs Survey

Urban Economics is undertaking a survey on behalf of the Banana Shire Support Centre as input to understanding the community's need for housing. Housing is a topical issue in the Banana Shire and we would value your input to ensure that resources are best utilised to meet the needs of our community and inform the development of a housing strategy to address these issues. The information you provide will be utilised for research purposes only.

Two survey participants will be randomly selected to receive a $100 Woolworths gift card.
